Cumberland Falls is a block waterfall in Kentucky with a documented drop of 68 ft (21 m).
The falls are fed by Cumberland River. You'll find it in McCreary County, Kentucky. It is protected within Kentucky State Parks.
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. Base a visit out of Corbin, the closest town.
When to go: Winter and spring (high flow); full moon for moonbow. Like most waterfalls, Cumberland Falls runs highest after snowmelt or heavy rain and can thin out in late summer, so it's worth checking recent streamflow and the land manager's conditions page before a long drive.
